@@spinynormanbest6410 I realized that but this is our rally cry an may just be our battle cry

@@lynngatlin4469 Good luck , I'm with you from the hellscape that is the U.K.

Hell yes!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm American who lives in Egypt now I found the american dream in africa. A sad reality. We hear this loud and clear in Egypt

Same in Australia 🇦🇺 😢

God bless New Zealand !

Same in the UK, i'm a working boy from rural norfolk, change the dollar to the pound and where the rich men live and it rings true. That line, so i can sit out here and waste my life away, drive back home and drown my troubles away is why i had a break down and almost drove into on coming traffic 10 years ago. Truth is truth no matter the separation of language or geography.

We are all together NZ

this line brings me to tears every single time

No words. ♥️😞

Big truth. Blue collard 29 here. Colorado Springs Colorado, refinery trash from Texas covering the Rockys these days with two kids. The lyricism just before that exact lyric scheme is lost on most. @4:35 I wish politicians would look out for miners, not just minors on an island somewhere. That one is tough, we want the heads of tyrants, but does the day to day become warped with past tense shit that should of never happened to begin with? To me it just simply says here it is today, we the people heard the news too, we're furious but so many fucking days happened since then and what is the result and why are 'mine' still hungry?

“It’s a damn shame!!” 🎶 🍻

Young women too. RIP.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to it already and it still gets me choked up

makes me miss the america i grew up in

@@TheDecker13 Same here but whats even worse its not just America this kind of thing is happening all over the Western world where the rich are eating the poor and these wacked out leftist laws being put in place like Marxism and Communism and kids in drag and all this other bullshit...

​@@TheDecker13Facts 😢

That, or you have no soul.

Damn right they hold us in contempt. And they have long before Hillary called us "deplorables".

@@mpetersen6 ?? I'm talking at least back to like the Wilson Admin.

@@mpetersen6 And then you voted for someone that holds you and all other regular people with the highest contempt possible... Both sides are bought by moneyed interests, and regular people suffer. This is literally what the song is about.

Well said

Amen!!!

Listening to this in Ireland, his message carries across all cultures

@@shanedempsey5468Germany here🙋🏼‍♂️

I'm not a musician. You mind if I ask what the "middle bars" are so I can get a little more from the song? Thanks!

Here listening in Mexico, just imagine...

Canada 🇨🇦 here, this song is very relatable. Canada is heavily taxed

Music is frequency. Raise yours and evil-doers are powerless. FEAR is their power.

Don't wish that on this man. You sell your soul to the deep state and become part of the problem.

You’re probably right! He’s probably wrote a song about that.

@@GlockPeacetruth

​@GlockPeace I have been sharing this story as well. God is amazing. I pray he stays humble and doesn't let the jerks in Nashville sink their claws into him.

@@GlockPeaceI would love to know where you read the article about Oliver Anthony falling to his knees?

It's so true. My dad left when I was 17, I was a junior in highschool, supposed to graduate in 2016. I told him I would be okay, and I really believed it, but unsurprisingly I was not. I was already not doing well, I had a very tumultuous childhood. When I was just 6 years old my mom warned me not to hit my head because I would go to sleep forever and not see anyone again. I had already developed sleeping as a coping mechanism, so I tried to lean off my bed to hit my head on the carpet floor rather than the tile so it wouldn't hurt as bad when I went to sleep. So my father leaving to move across to the other side of the country was a kick in the teeth when I was already on my knees. Internally I crumbled and once I turned 18 my high school terminated my enrollment due to poor attendance because I would be gone for weeks at a time crying and contemplating suicide. No one gave a shit about me, people I called friends didn't send a single word of concern my way during that whole struggle. I tried to escape in video games, youtube and other internet activities. Sometimes it helped, other times I couldn't escape all of the media telling me that I was an awful oppressor ruining the lives of women and minorities because I was born with white skin and a Y chromosome. My own mother couldn't conceive of what to do with me and wouldn't even try to figure out what was causing my suicidal thoughts. She tried to get me institutionalized into a mental ward multiple times. All I needed was someone to extend a hand and not blame me for being broken, just hear my cries and wipe my tears. It's a miracle I'm alive, and I'm glad that I am now. I'm doing much better, but it pains me to see young men going through what I did and worse. When I try to talk to women about these issues that young men are facing they are often dismissive and play the "well it's worse for women" card when I never tried to make it a competition. Our country needs to heal. Our boys need our love and support. We need to stop playing the divisive identity games and get back to caring for people.

Don't forget about countless wars the rich men north of richmond send young men to die in, so they can sit in there mansions and talk about how righteous they are.... MCAA

Exactly this. It is sooo deep and layered. I’ve watched about 60 react videos now and every time it just expands and hits different- but yes THIS- the attack on young men- it’s all these ways. Just like the line about the obese milking welfare- that’s not only individuals misusing the safety net, it’s also the banks and corporations on corporate welfare, and the money laundering going on over there near Russia. $700 per household in Maui, $13B to zelensky. It’s a damn shame.

"Oliver Anthony really does punch down on the poor. The lives of ordinary working people are being torn apart by the rich, he laments, but we can fix it if we cut welfare - and taxes too. Listening to the lyrics in that context, I came to understand why the song had gone viral among rightwing figures in the US. It’s a classic example of the divisive narrative that bosses have used to pit worker against worker since the days of Joe Hill. If the poor are fighting one another over racial hierarchy or cultural grievance, their anger will be directed away from the people responsible for their plight - the rich who exploit those in work and abandon those in need." Billy Bragg 2023

@@DjWellDressedMan that's the dumbest take I've ever seen. The whole reason people are struggling is because of insane inflation and taxes to pay for the totally corrupt build back better push and welfare state. If funding the welfare state creates more recipients to the welfare state it's NOT doing it's job. The point of the song is a lot of us wouldn't be struggling if we didn't need to prop up people exploiting the system, and the system doesn't even properly help many of the people who are straight up starving.

He blew up alright!

The SONG heard round the world.

Amen

I’m with you Brother

same hear British Army

I'm an old soul, 20+ years military, DS/DS, VFW life member, then 2nd 20 year career came to a close in early 2022 because I wasn't gonna take the clot shot death jab. I listen to this song A LOT and have watched numerous podcast reactions from all walks of life. I'm not ashamed to say when I hear our National Anthem, TAPS (especially) and now Rich Men North of Richmond it brings up deep and often watery emotions for me. Everyday since this administration has cheated its way into the WH, its like Groundhog Day where they just kick us in the balls, over and over and over. Bless this young man for he is uniting millions and millions worldwide!!! May God bless America and the millions elsewhere, we are in it together!

@@straydawg461Amen we are

beyond fire 🔥 truth

Yes God is going to do amazing things in Oliver’s life.God Bless You Oliver 🙏🏻

deep into the pockets of right wing millionaires that don't want to pay taxes

The working makes you feel old… I feel like old millennials are in a constant existential crisis… we’re getting numb to the world blowing up… again.

@@peachykeen7634 The worlds been blown up since 2001 in my opinion. The entire country changed then. I can remember the pre-2001 years and how great they were. Post2001 things seemed to start heading south.

@@the32712 I was just a child when that happened, in 6th grade. Even then it felt like the world changed. As I've grown up it feels like the country was controlled to go a certain way... I'll be really pissed if it was all done by those rich men north of Richmond. And sad that I think it probably was them.

I'm 40 and feel 80 compared to this reprobate "culture" on social media.

Amen, Caddie

15? That's nothing lol

not just america

I liked that one too!@@dacr8928

He's definitely crushing it. The man has soul

Ain’t Got Dollar is great too

Completely agree!. When he started describing the guitar I thought damn this guy does his research haha

woody guthrie and bob dylan would have been disgusted by right wing astroturfed frauds like anthony

I’m 22 making under 3k every 2 weeks working 90 hours a week sometimes more others less no scheduled days off going rig to rig every day sometimes 8 hours others 60+ from clock in to clock out it’s rough

I think it changed 22 years ago… then again 14 years ago… then 7 years ago… it’s just been a constant long drive downhill…

what was 17 years ago? I ask because I look at Sept 2001 as the point however it took a few years to really set in.

Reminds me of Janice Joplin.
